Author Description Johann Hari is an award-winning British journalist and playwright. He was a columnist for The Independent and the Huffington Post, and has won awards for his war reporting. His work has also appeared in the <i>New York Times</i>, the <i>Los Angeles Times</i>, <i>The New Republic</i>, <i>The Nation</i>, <i>Le Monde</i>, <i>El Mundo</i>, the <i>Melbourne Age</i>, <i>El Pais</i>, the <i>Sydney Morning Herald</i>, the <i>Irish Times</i>, <i>The Guardian</i>, <i>Ha'aretz</i>, the <i>Times Literary Supplement</i>, <i>Attitude</i> (Britain's main gay magazine), the <i>New Statesman</i> and a wide range of other international newspapers and magazines.<br /><br />Hari describes himself as a "European social democrat", who believes that markets are "an essential tool to generate wealth" but must be matched by strong democratic governments and strong trade unions or they become "disastrous". He appears regularly as an arts critic on the BBC Two programme Newsnight Review, and he is a book critic for Slate. He has been named by the Daily Telegraph as one of the most influential people on the left in Britain, and by the Dutch magazine Winq as one of the twenty most influential gay people in the world.<br /><br />After two scandals in 2011 involving plagiarism and malicious editing of Wikipedia pages, Hari was forced to return the prestigious Orwell prize he had won in 2008, and lost his position at <i>The Independent</i>.
